  4. To permanently delete a post, click on the three-dot menu next to it and select "Delete forever".
  5. Confirm the action when prompted.

It's important to note that once a post is permanently deleted, it cannot be restored. Therefore, it's recommended to be cautious when deleting posts and always create backups of your data.
